Description
Indulge in creamy No Bake S’mores Cheesecake Bars, capturing the nostalgic flavors of classic s’mores without the need for an oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined and resembles wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a lined 9×9 inch baking dish to create an even layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In another bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is velvety smooth. Fold in marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, ensuring every bit of fluffiness is included.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the mixture is uniform and fluffy.
- Assemble the bars: Spread the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the baking dish, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
- Make the ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the ½ cup of heavy cream over low heat until it steams. Remove from the heat and add chocolate chips, stirring until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Pour ganache over bars: Carefully drizzle the chocolate ganache over the cheesecake layer, allowing it to flow naturally to the edges.
- Top with marshmallows: Scatter mini marshmallows over the top of the ganache, giving it a playful and inviting appearance.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 240 minutes, allowing everything to set beautifully before slicing them into squares.
Notes
These bars can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze individually for up to 3 months.
